Meanwhile I see kids doing this all the time while mom or dad looks at their phone behind the wheel. I do live in a redneck area*, though.
*the USA.
Right? People kinda willfully forget anywhere that isn’t a major metropolutan area has a possibility of being the redneck type of rural, and that’s not even exclusive to the USA.
It can literally Kill you! Even a lower speed accident. I took care of a patient who’s leg was shattered and it cut her femoral artery into a couple pieces.
DEAD! Just by hanging her bare feet outside the front passenger window across the edge of the dashboard. Air bag deployed. The END.
Those who know
If you look at their sacrum you can see their soul crying (it kinda looks like a face in agony)
seems like he broke more than just the hips. 1 dislocated leg that is also broken, and the other one shattered.
The hip bones attached to the… Oh, sorry about that…
Looks like the taint bone…
Taint nothing wrong with dat
I can’t even conceptualise what happened based on this xray, all I know is it looks fucking painful.
If this is someone born male, they hip checked themselves in the nuts. Ow ow ow!
White indicates density and that white bit above the ball of their femur is let’s say plausibly a whangdoodle.
Was.
New a guy who did that, well had his foot out the window of his truck, rolled it, shattered and crushed his leg. He sued to truck company… And won. (Or at least settled)
And then he bought trucks for his family. Yes from the same company.
tell me you’re american without telling me you’re american
Sure. I am physically, morally, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually superior to everyone from anywhere else in the world.
Is it the story about trucks, or spelling “knew” as “new”?
Or the story about a lawsuit that only makes sense when you reframe it as a florida man headline in your mind
exactly this “florida man hit himself in the head with a hammer, sued the hammer company and won a bazillion dollars” stuff
Frivolous lawsuits are mostly a fake thing McDonald’s convinced the public of so they wouldn’t have to pay medical bill for someone after serving coffee that was way too hot. The reason for most big payouts for injuries is because the medical system is broken.
And then he new what to do next and bought his whole family hammers from the hammer company.
sounds familiar think i now that from watching the knews
Ha, thank you phone autocorrect. Keeping it there though.
How the fuck do you win that lawsuit? I really want to hear their arguments.
Did he win or did they settle?
It’s been almost two decades, I’m pretty sure it was a settlement though.
That’s the real question.
Better than having your kneecaps in your teeth.
Don’t fucking kick your legs up in a car what the fuck you’re in a high speed vehicle that can crash at any moment resting legs near an air bag???
this person couldved had his femur in his intestines from the looks of it.
well I rest on the door handle and my foot over the air bag so my knee will miss my teeth
Of the many broken bones I’ve had, a snapped femur is one. The damage it did means I’m never walking without a limp or running at nearly the pace I could. All it did was compound above the knee. This is permanent massive life changing damage. That bone absolutely destroys all the critical muscle groups, blood vessels, and massive nervous system that flows down to your lower half.
Not to be all prudish or anything, but this made my stomach turn seeing it. IDK if tagging it would help but at least I would have been mentally braced for it.
So they’ve broken their pelvis straight through about half way up, popped their right femur out of the socket, and split the left femur straight through near the top… yeah… that sucks
They didn’t break their pelvis, it’s a child. The bones in their pelvis aren’t fused yet. Not that it makes much of a difference damage wise
Holy crap, I didn’t even notice the broken pelvis and left femur break, gah!
the right one is completely discolated too.
Yup, but you forgot the part when the tip of the right femur went out through their butthole…
Ohhhhh jeez… I didn’t even consider that
If I recall from seeing the original article, it actually made a new butthole.
Did he buttfuck himself with his femur?
Oh jesus fucking christ that actually made me wince. Do they make full-body cups that I can wear so this absolutely never happens to me?
You could start by just listening to the advice above the image. It’s a good start.
Yeah fair suggestion 😂
Just dab it with some bacitracin, take some ibuprofen, and get some sleep. You’ll be fiiiiiine.
Lol its like you were in the ER with me. After getting a $5 sling for $130 and 50¢ Tylenol for $50 they sent me home and referred me to a doctor on the far side of town who wasn’t in my network. Its almost been a month since I broke my collarbone, only abt a month of sling time left! And $617 dollars in med debt later
I didn’t know my GP was on Lemmy
